L404A-D, F; L604A,LPressuretrol® Controllers
APPLICATIONL404 and L604 Pressuretrol® Controllers are line voltage pressure controllers that provide operating control, automatic limit protection, or manual reset limit protection for pressure systems of up to 300 psi (21.1 kg/cm2 or 2068 kPa).
FEATURES� Can be used with steam, air, non-combustible gases,
or fluids non-corrosive to the pressure sensing element.
� Stainless steel diaphragm (except 300 psi [21.1 kg/cm2; 2068 kPa] models) also allows use with ammonia, oxygen, distilled water and similar media.
� L404B is recommended for supervision of atomizing medium pressure in oil burner systems.
� Models are available with single-pole, single-throw (spst), single-pole, double-throw (spdt), or double-pole single-throw (dpst) switching and in a variety of operating ranges.
� Dustproof, trouble-free mercury switches (all models except L404F, which has snap-acting switch).
� Automatic reset models have adjustable, subtractive differential.
� Trip-free mechanism on manual reset models assures that limit function of controller cannot be defeated by jamming reset lever.
� Screw adjustments made on top of case.� Scaleplates marked in English (psi) and Metric
(kg/cm2) units.� L404F models available with European enclosure,
British Standard Pipe Threads, ground screw, and scale plates marked in kg/cm2 and either psi or kPa.
� Clear plastic cover on case to observe pressure settings and switch action.
� Leveling indicator visible through cover.� Hexagonal fitting with 1/4-18 NPT internal threads for
direct mounting to 14026 Steam Trap (siphon loop).� Surface mount is available using screws through holes
(knockouts) in case backing.

Location and MountingNOTE: For most accurate operation; add supplemental heat
to installations where the heat falls below -20°F (-29°C). Never locate the controller where the temperature falls below -35°F (-37°C), because mercury in the switch freezes at this temperature.
When used with steam boilers, always mount the controller above the water line in the boiler. A steam trap (siphon loop) must always be connected between the controller and the boiler (see Fig. 2) to prevent boiler scale and corrosive vapors from attacking the diaphragm. The loop on the steam trap must always be perpendicular to the face of the controller. If the loop is parallel to the controller, expansion or contraction of the loop tips the controller and causes inaccurate operation of the switch.
The controller can be mounted:
a. alongside the pressure gauge,b. in a fitting on the boiler provided by the
manufacturer,c. at a remote location in case of excessive vibration,d. in a special mounting on a low water cutoff.
Fig. 2. Right and wrong mounting of a steam trap (siphon loop), with approximate dimensions in in. (mm).
Make all pipe connections in accordance with approved standards. Use only a small amount of pipe compound to seal the connection joints. Excess pipe compound can clog the small hole in the fitting and prevent the controller from operating properly.
To avoid leaks and damage to the case, use a parallel jaw wrench on the controller hexagonal fitting. Do not tighten the controller by hand by holding the case.
LevelingA controller with a mercury switch must be accurately leveled for proper operation. It is level when the leveling indicator (see Fig. 11) hangs freely with its pointer directly over the index mark inside the back of the case. Level the controller by carefully bending the steam trap (siphon loop).
Mounting Alongside a Pressure GaugeTo mount the controller alongside a pressure gauge (Fig. 2), remove the gauge. In its place, install a steam trap (siphon loop) with a tee on top. Using elbows and pipe nipples, mount the controller and pressure gauge on the ends of the tee. Level the controller after installation.
Mounting on a BoilerIf it is not convenient to mount the controller alongside the pressure gauge, install steam trap (siphon loop) in the fitting provided by the boiler manufacturer. If there is no fitting, mount the steam trap at a location recommended by the boiler manufacturer. Screw the controller directly to the steam trap and level the controller.
Mounting at a Remote LocationIf there is excessive vibration at the boiler than can adversely affect the operation of the controller, mount the controller at a remote location. All piping from the boiler must be suitable and solidly mounted. The piping must be properly pitched to drain all condensation back to the boiler. A steam trap (siphon loop) must be mounted between the remote piping and the controller. Level the controller after installation.
Supervision of Atomizing Medium Pressure (Air or Steam)�L404BWhen air or steam is used as an atomizing medium in an oil burner system, authorities having jurisdiction (approval bodies and codes) often require a low limit to prevent opening the main oil valve until sufficient atomizing pressure is present, and to shut down the system when the atomizing pressure falls too low.
The L404B is recommended for this application. It makes a circuit when the pressure rises to the setpoint and breaks when the pressure falls to the setpoint minus the differential (Fig. 10).

SETTING AND CHECKOUT
SettingIn all models, the differential is subtractive from the main scale set point. The upper operating point is determined by the main scale set point, while the lower operating point is determined by the main scale setting less the differential setting. The L404F and L604A (with jumper installed), L have spdt switching action. Operating points are shown in Fig. 10.
Fig. 10. L404 and L604 operating points.
Adjust the main scale set point for the desired operating pressure by turning the main scale adjusting screw (Fig. 11) on the top of the case until the main scale setting indicator is at the desired value. On an L404A,B,F with a 5 to 150 psi (.3 to 10.3 kg/cm2 [34 to 1034 kPa]) operating range, or an L604A, adjust the differential setting by turning the differential adjusting screw (Fig. 11) until the differential setting indicator is at the desired value. L404C,D and L604L are manual reset models: see the next paragraph. The scaleplates are marked psi and kg/cm2.
Trip-Free Manual Reset Feature (L404C,D and L604L only)The L404C breaks, the L404D makes, and the L604L makes R-W and breaks R-B when the pressure rises to the main scale setpoint. They will not automatically return to their former positions. To reset one of these controllers, wait until the pressure falls to the set point minus the differential (Fig. 10). Then depress the manual reset lever (Fig. 11) and release it. The controller will not be reset until you release the manual reset lever. This prevents the controller from becoming an automatic-reset device if the reset lever is stuck, held in, or tied down.

Fig. 11. Setting a Pressuretrol® Controller.
CheckoutAfter the controller has is installed, wired, and set, test it with the system in operation. First allow the system to stabilize. Then observe the operation of the controller while raising and lowering its setpoint. Pressure should increase when the setpoint is raised and decrease when the set point is lowered.
Also check the make and break points of the controller. If they do not agree with a separate, accurately calibrated pressure gauge, a slight adjustment of the scaleplate(s) may be necessary.
Use accurate pressure testing equipment when checking out the controller. Do not rely on inexpensive gauges. The controllers are carefully calibrated at the factory.
Boiler InstallationIf the controller is being used on a boiler installation, test it as follows:
1. Note the boiler pressure by checking the boiler pressure gauge. (To perform this test properly, the boiler should have a pressure reading near the middle of the controllerÕs main scale range.)
2. Turn the main scale adjusting screw (Fig. 11) until the main scale setting indicator on the controller corresponds to the boiler pressure gauge reading.
3. The L404A or C should break the control circuit(s) automatically when the boiler pressure gauge reading equals or slightly exceeds the controller setting.
4. The L404B or D should make the circuit under the same circumstances.
5. The L404F; L604L should make the R-W circuit and break the R-B circuit under the same circumstances.
6. The L604A should make the R1-W circuit and break the R2-B circuit under the same circumstances.
7. If the controller is operating properly, turn the main scale adjusting screw (Fig. 11) until the main scale setting indicator is at the desired set point.
If a Controller Seems to Operate ImproperlyIf the controller is suspected of operating improperly, it may be further checked as follows (Fig. 12):
1. Disconnect all power to the controller, loosen the cover screw, and remove the cover.
2. Disconnect the wires from the controller.3. Connect an ohmmeter between the switch terminals.4. Lower the set point of the controller (simulating a
pressure increase) through a range greater than the differential. The switch should either make or break, depending on the model of the controller. (An L404A or C should break, an L404B or D should make, an L404F; L604L should break R-B and make R-W, and an L604A should break R2-B and make R1-W.) If it makes, the ohmmeter reads zero; if it breaks, the ohmmeter reads infinity.
5. Raise the set point of the controller (simulating a pressure decrease) through a range greater than the differential. The switch should break or make, just the opposite of its action in step 4 (except for the L404C,D and L604L manual reset models).
NOTE: An approximation of the differential can be made by observing the change in set point required for a resistance change from zero to infinity.
6. If the controller operates improperly, replace it.7. When the controller is operating properly, reconnect the
wires to the terminal block, replace the cover and tighten the cover screw, and reconnect the power.
CAUTIONEquipment Damage Hazard.Improper operation can damage the equipment.Do not put the system into service until you have satisfactorily completed all applicable tests described in this Checkout section, in the Checkout section of the applicable instructions for the flame safeguard control, and any others required by the burner and boiler manufacturers.

SERVICE INFORMATION
CalibrationThe controller was carefully calibrated during manufacturing and should not require recalibration. Most calibration errors are caused by improper leveling. The controller should be level when the pointer on the leveling indicator is directly over the index mark (Fig. 11). In some cases, the leveling indicator may not be accurate enough. The pointer may be over the index mark, but the controller still may not be operating within the tolerance of its scale setting. In this case, carefully bend the steam trap (siphon loop) until the controller switches properly.
MaintenanceThe cover of the controller should be in place at all times to protect the internal components from dirt, dust, and physical damage. Routine maintenance should consist of occasional inspection and blowing or brushing away any accumulated dirt and dust. To ensure proper functioning of the controller at all times, perform an operational check of the entire system during routine maintenance checks.
